[Hiring] Senior Software Engineer @PrizePicks

Role Description

We are seeking an experienced Senior Software Engineer with deep expertise in TypeScript and React Native to join our Sweats team. In this role, you will design, build, and own critical features within PrizePicks’ React Native mobile application. You will tackle high-scope, complex technical problems, define the technical path from product idea to production, and mentor engineers across your team and the organization.

What You’ll Do

• Design and build mobile features: Architect and implement complex features and interaction flows in our React Native app that are performant, accessible, and deliver exceptional user experiences.
• Own technical delivery: Lead the technical design and implementation of complex features end-to-end — from product requirements through deployment and monitoring.
• Drive app performance: Diagnose and resolve performance bottlenecks, optimize rendering, reduce bundle size, and improve the overall responsiveness of the mobile app.
• Define technical direction: Propose and drive architectural decisions for your team’s mobile features, evaluating tradeoffs and communicating recommendations clearly.
• Mentor and elevate: Provide hands-on mentorship to Software Engineers I, II, and III on your team and in the organization through code reviews, pairing, and technical guidance.
• Improve engineering practices: Define, advocate for, and improve best practices around component architecture, testing, accessibility, and mobile deployment for your team.
• Collaborate cross-functionally: Work closely with Product Managers, Designers, QA, and other engineering teams to translate product goals into well-scoped technical solutions.
• Participate in on-call rotation: Share responsibility for production incidents, contributing to root cause analysis and long-term reliability improvements.

Qualifications

• 5–8 years of professional software engineering experience, with significant time building production React Native applications.
• Proven track record of owning and delivering complex, multi-component mobile features in a team environment.
• Experience with the full mobile development lifecycle — from development through app store submission and post-release monitoring.
• Experience building mobile applications backed by large-scale, high-throughput distributed systems serving millions of users.

Requirements

• Expert-level TypeScript proficiency — you write clean, type-safe, well-tested production code.
• Deep React Native expertise — performance optimization, native module integration, complex animations, and platform-specific considerations.
• Strong experience with Expo and its ecosystem.
• Proficiency with monorepo tooling (Yarn workspaces or similar).
• Solid understanding of mobile testing strategies — Jest for unit/component testing, experience with Maestro for E2E testing.
• Experience with CI/CD for mobile and Expo/EAS workflows — build pipelines, OTA updates, app store deployment.
• Understanding of observability in mobile — crash reporting, performance monitoring, analytics integration.

Working Style

• Comfortable working autonomously with minimal direction on ambiguous problems.
• Effective communicator who can articulate technical decisions to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience working in a fully remote engineering organization.
• Able to context-switch between deep technical work and collaborative planning.

What Makes You Stand Out

• Experience leveraging AI-assisted development tools across the development lifecycle — coding, planning, scoping, and code review.
• Experience integrating AI tooling into engineering workflows to accelerate team productivity.

Benefits

• Company-subsidized medical, dental, & vision plans.
• 401(k) plan with company match.
• Annual bonus.
• Flexible PTO to encourage a healthy work/life balance (2 weeks STRONGLY encouraged!).
• Generous paid leave programs, including 16-week paid parental leave and disability benefits.
• Workplace flexibility and modern work schedules focused on getting the job done, not hours clocked.
• Company-wide in-person events and team outings.
• Lifestyle enhancement program.
• Company equipment provided (Windows & Mac options).
• Annual performance reviews with opportunities for growth and career development.
